Opposition to California's statehood in the mid-19th century stemmed from various concerns, including fears about the balance of power between free and slave states, particularly after the discovery of gold which accelerated population growth. Southern states were wary that admitting California as a free state would disrupt the political equilibrium established by the Missouri Compromise. Additionally, some argued that California's vast and diverse geography made it difficult to govern effectively as a single state. These tensions highlighted the broader national conflict over slavery and representation.
